STANZE, a duo exhibition including artworks by Juxtapoz favorite Matthias Weischer and Flavio De Marco, is on view at Fondazione Coppola through July 30 in the spaces of the Porta Castello's Torrione, Vicenza, Italy.
Matthias Weischer's works focus on uninhabited, enigmatic spaces and environments, suspended between a before and an after, between the disappearance and the silent expectation of human presence and happening. The rooms painted by the artist are thus half-empty, temporarily abandoned environments, stripped of elements of reality, places where the sense of waiting is amplified through the introduction of other spaces within the rooms, paintings and mirrors (thus images within images) frequently hanging on the walls of the rooms.
Weischer's works, moreover, are scores in which space is defined through a long process of layering, which gives the painting a vibrant material presence, like a sensitive skin that is also, inevitably, a dimension of time.
